Restaurant business plan project?

Hey guys im in the middle of writing a business plan for school, i am actually writing this for myself as well as the project as i am planning on one day opening my own place.

I have most of it done but i am having trouble finding some numbers, since i don't get the invoices at my place i have no idea what we pay for gas or how much we use, same with electric of water, im assuming business rates are different from residential? Can anyone offer some guidelines for what is may cost or how much usage there would be for a small restaurant say 60 seats.

The other issue im trying to find is healhcare information, every place i look needs tons of info i dont have considering this is a fake project and not real. Can anyone offer any advice on what a small business group plan would pay for insurance?

if anyone doesn't want to post specific details on here i understand maybe you can send me a pm?

Any other info is more than welcomed as well i may have missed some stuff in there i have pretty much covered; payroll, food cost, rent, insurance, some other overhead expenses, loans( investments), demographic (competition), menu/ recipes, staff/hiring, and forecasted potential profit.

As far as health insurance costs go (for full-time salaried employees?), could be $350-$550/ mo depending on the plan. Some companies have their employees cover $100 or so out of their paychecks, and other companies cover the full cost.
